21st June 2022

Tejasswi couldn't even sleep for a minute last night. She was worried that Karan would get to know about her lies. She didn't want to hurt him, not so soon anyway. She had a feeling that Karan would want to meet her today, as they had not met even once in the last 4 days, and yesterday, they didn't even do a single facetime call. How could she? If she would have done facetime with him, he would have known she was lying about being at work yesterday.

Well, in her defense, yesterday was the only day when Karan was out for shoot the whole day and she could execute her plan.

Tejasswi was waiting in a nearby cafe till the time she got Karan's message - "Hi Tejuuu. I have reached the set for today's shoot. Text me whenever you get free. Take care love :*"

She wore her sunglasses, face mask, and a cap, and quickly got out of the cafe. It took her around 5 minutes to reach his place. Without making any noise, she quietly unlocked the main door of Karan's house and went inside, locking the door behind her. Shocking would be an understatement at this moment. Things were all over the place, fan gifts, bouquets, eatables, clothes. His living room was in complete chaos. She started arranging things, keeping them in their proper place. She was about to keep all the packed gifts on the coffee table when an opened one from between caught her eye. It was a photo frame, with a digital artwork of them, from the Bigg Boss house. Tejasswi got emotional as her mind went back to that exact moment -

Karan was standing at the main door of the BB House, with his back facing the house and his hands in his pockets. Tejasswi saw him standing alone, went up to him, and stood beside him. He didn't even take a second before saying -

"Bahot sohni lag rahi hai tu"

"Hain? Voh toh tu roz bolta hai."

"Nahi, aaj kuch zyada hi sohni lag rahi hai."

"Aaj tu kya bol raha tha? Cute lag rahi hoon."

"Cute in the sense, as a person bahot cute lag rahi thi aaj. Abhi bahot sohni lag rahi hai."

"As a person kyun cute lag rahi thi?"

"Tu roya tha na subah subah."

"Kya tha?"

"Tu roya tha na subah subah, gadho ki tarah. "

"Toh cute?"

"Toh mereko cute lagi, main kya karu? Dil karra tha uthaake le jau."

"Kidhar?"

"Matlab, kidhar kya matlab. Kahi le jau."

"As a person kyun cute lagi thi?"

And then he turned around, with his back facing her. Tejasswi hugged him, from behind.

"Kyunki tu aise sherni banke ghoom rahi hoti hai, aur phir ek dum se aise, cuto."
